What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Purpose: To determine the level of involvement of orthopaedic sports medicine fellowships on social media, the type of content shared, and the overall level of engagement based on the type of content posted. Methods: A web-based systematic approach identifying and analyzing the social media presence of the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education-accredited orthopaedic sports medicine fellowship programs across 3 major platforms-Instagram, Facebook, and X-from the inception of each Instagram and X account to January 30, 2025, and from January 1, 2020, to January 30, 2025, for each Facebook account. Data on each program's profile and posts were collected. The χ Results: Of the 95 Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education-accredited orthopaedic sports medicine fellowship programs identified, 20 (21.1%) posted about their fellowship on Instagram, 13 (13.7%) on X, 9 (9.5%) on Facebook, and 5 (5.3%) on all 3 platforms. On average, Instagram profiles had 148.7 posts (range, 8-985), X profiles had 2,807.0 posts (range, 102-6,747), and Facebook profiles had 527.4 posts (range, 23-1,185). Non-fellowship-related content (national holidays, patient information) was the most common category across all platforms (mean of 103 posts on Instagram, 2,260 on X, and 489 on Facebook), with little variability between programs. Level of engagement did not statistically differ across any platform (Instagram, Conclusions: Although Instagram was identified as the most favored platform, the overall social media presence of orthopaedic sports medicine fellowships across all platforms was limited. Content analysis revealed a predominant focus on posts unrelated to the program's orthopaedic sports medicine fellowship. Clinical Relevance: This study highlights the underutilized potential of social media in enhancing visibility, engagement, and communication for orthopaedic sports medicine fellowships.
